Creativity and innovation at retail is what drives our industry...
...now we want to reward you for your efforts!
HERE'S ALL YOU HAVE TO DO!
In no more than 50 words tell us the story of your most successful idea - the one that pulled in the most new customers and brought your existing customers back through your doors. A special promotion, a contest - anything that worked exceptionally well for you - except a sale (we already know that works).
A Sample Idea:
"Last March we partnered with Little League organizations in surrounding towns to offer a one-day 15% discount on baseball purchases - with an additional 15% pledged to the teams for equipment purchases. We were able to tap into the existing social media network and got a huge turnout. Dozens of kids showed up in uniform, we had a memorabilia drawing from old stock, and customers who came in unaware of the promotion ended up making additional purchases to get the discount and support the teams. When we closed the doors that evening, we had taken in 110% more than a typical March weekday."
